CARL RBT-12N 12-Inch Personal Trimmer

works as described

Works very well and I like the size.

It's stable and cuts well the first time. I can't be happier. Being inexpensive was a bonus.For people having problems with damaging photos, etc, try putting a piece of paper ontop of what you're cutting!

I bought my paper trimmer 3.5 years ago and it still works great. I am just now needing to buy a new cartridge (I don't use the trimmer too often) and found one here on amazon. I would recommend this for anyone who's looking for a simple product that works well but doesn't do anything too fancy.

I purchased this trimmer about a month ago for scrapbooking. The guide rails for the blade do not swing out of the way, so small trimmings often get caught under the rails and have to be fished out with scissors or shaken out. Very inconvenient! But the worst fact is that pressing on the guide rails, which is necessary to get a straight cut, often mars my photos. There are small white dashes where the picture is actually worn away, merely from pressing on the guide rails. I don't want to put damaged photos in my scrapbook! This is unacceptable from a paper trimmer. I owned a Fiskar for years (needs to be replaced as the guide rails have gotten loose), and it never made a mark on my photos. I would not recommend this trimmer to anyone.

I bought this trimmer about a year and a half ago. It comes with a replacement blade, which is good, but for the life of me I cannot find out where to buy more replacement blades. I've even contacted the manufacturer, but I get no reply fom them. I realize that it's an inexpensive trimmer, but I don't want to buy a whole new one every time I need a new blade.

Have two others for office, works great for single page cuts, still using same blades for two + years. Needed another one.

works as expected.
